Harewood House 2011

The Jaguar C-Type is a racing sports car built by Jaguar and sold from 1951 through until 1953. The car used the running gear of the contemporary XK120 in a lightweight tubular frame and aerodynamic aluminium body. I've been unable to find any official records of this particular car so, given that only 53 C-Types were built, I'm thinking it might even be a replica.

The Chevrolet Chevelle was a mid-sized automobile produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors from 1964 through to 1977 and was one of Chevrolet's most successful nameplates. I was lucky enough to spot this beautiful Malibu, which was the top of the line model, at this show. It so impressed me that I'm posting two photos of this one, one from the front and the other from the rear.

Never tire of seeing this old Chrysler, even better when it's parked up in a quiet corner!

Another shot of that lovely Chrysler, this time a detail of the rear wing ... or should I say fender!

It may be just a replica, but it works for me!

Hey Dad, how do does this thing start!

Couldn't resist taking a shot of this beautiful looking dog. Not sure what type it is ... looks like a wolf to me!

Can't remember what type of vehicle this was on, but it made me smile and so I thought it worth capturing.

Sadly, I can't confirm the details on this beautiful Testarossa as the registration has been put onto another vehicle. What I can confirm is that the owner obviously had a sense of humour, what with the GB and Friends Of The Earth stickers they'd placed on the car!

The Toyota Celica was produced from 1970 to 2006, with the Celica name derived from the Latin word coelica meaning "heavenly" or "celestial". This is a First Generation model kitted out rally style, no doubt to reflec the car's motorsport pedigree.

The Alfa Romeo Alfasud was considered one of the company's most successful models and this was as good a looking example as you're probably ever going to find!

Just love old cars, so many details to be captured ... and most of them in chrome!

Noble Automotive Ltd., more commonly known simply as Noble, was established in 1999 by Lee Noble. Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, they set about producing high-speed sports cars with a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout. Lee Noble was the chief designer and owner of Noble, but he went on to sell the company in August 2006 before resigning in February 2008. The M400 is the track variant of the Noble M12 and has been reported to do 0–60 mph in as little as 2.97 seconds. It's claimed that only 75 examples of this model were ever made. The rarity of it and the fact that this car was spotted at a show in West Yorkshire has led me to wonder if this could be Lee Noble's very own car ... how cool would that be!
